You don't like the word "masses" is all

  No, I don’t like elitism.

    You don't like the idea that the majority of people aren't very intelligent and that 90% of innovation comes from 10% of people. That's okay. Reality often isn't easy to digest. I don't like the human species most of the time either. But if you want to create systems that redistribute wealth, knowledge, etc then first we must understand the reality of what we are dealing with. And this has nothing to do with elitism. You just pulled the simplest term you could think of in order to justify for yourself why you're right and don't like the words I wrote. Now in your head you can attach my words to elitism and convince yourself that elitism is bad, rather than substance of the actual words I said. It's okay. We all think like this.

      I do like the human species, quite a bit, actually. Sounds like we're starting from fundamentally different points of view, so I'll leave it at that.

        Sure that's an easy way out to point out a division like that and attempt to take the high ground. Or just don't reply.
